A dedicated teacher, prolific writer, and fearless crusader, Jessie Wallace Hughan fervently championed causes close to her heart. With unwavering passion and leadership, she embodied the essence of philanthropy and left an indelible mark on AOII, enriching it with depth and sincerity. “The Founding Advocate” is the fourth in the series of wine offerings that pay homage to each of our founding members, and the unique and individual impact they left on the Fraternity.

We introduce you to The Founding Advocate. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
